Connecting PHP with DB2 on linux

Question

I get a connection failed message when trying to connect to db2 database in php, the code is run on a linux server..

I have added the instance and extension lines in php.ini

---

ibm_db2.instance_name=db2inst1

[ibm_db2]

extension=ibm_db2.so

I am I missing something in the php.ini file or any other file?

Note I am following the following steps:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ibm-db2.installation.php

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ibm-db2.requirements.php

I get the following error messages in the httpd/error_log

Answer 1

please check this error message: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php/modules/idb_db2.so' You need to have this library physically on disk. Apparently it´s not true in your case :-) Please check (for 10.5) http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21385217 and here you can find client+libraries needed (I hope IBM Data Server Runtime Client can solve it).
